In; Teply to Mr. Masters, who asked if pthe Auckland Railways League was in favor of equal expenditure at both ends of the Stratford—Okahukura line, Mr. Cheal said he had advocated the Matiere --Okahukura portion because of the unfortunate position of the settlers who had- been there for 18 years, and had been promised communication in four years at the beginning. He was quite prepared to have the line pushed through from both ends at the same time. Mr. Masters moved: "That this meeting welcomes the goodwill and co-opera-tion of the Auckland Railways League, and is of opinion that co-operation between Auckland and Taranaki, to urge vigorous railway construction, would be mutually beneficial."

GENERAL.

A welcome-home social to Major Hine to-night (Thursday). The monthly meeting of the Stratford School Committee was held last evening. Mr. J. W. Thomas, lirst assistant, tendered his resignation as ho had been appointed headmaster of the Inglewood School. Mr. Thomas has been for ten years first assistant, and his connection with the teaching staff dates back 17 years. The committee, in accepting the resignation witli regret, decided to place on record their high appreciation of Mr. Thomas's good services. With regard to the appointment of a successor, the Education Board forwarded a list of applicants, and recommend id that Mr. R. Thomas, a brother of Mr. J. W. Thomas, who had been held teacher at Nuifolk School for fourteen yea-.-s, find who had had twenty-four years' leaching experience, be appointed.—L'he appointment was agreed to. With reference to the erection of a new technical high school it was resolved to write to the Taranaki Education Board asking it to do all in its power to have the work put in hand at once. The secretary reported that £G3 9s 8d had been subscribed towards the cost of a dining room for the children. A special canvassing committee has been appointed, and it is hoped to bring the amount up to £IOO in a few days.

KING'S CINEMA THEATRE.

At the King's Cinema Theatre, Stratford, to-night (Thursday), that idol of a million hearts, Mary Picki'ord, will appear in "Hulda from Holland," a drama which leaves far iu the background any in which this famous screen artist has previously appeared. The picture is a Paramount, and has everything to commend it. The subject, photography and scenery are the best, and no lover of high-class drama should miss this picture. A good comedy always takes with Stratford audiences, and the Mack Sennett production in which Fatty Arbuckle will appear aa "Fatty Out West" promises much to those with an appreciation of humor. The showing of this picture always means continuous and uproarious laughter, As these pictures, which are supported by others, are likely to draw good crowds, those who wisli to see them should book their Beats at the Marble Bar, or by 'phone 263. The star programme will'be shown without any increase in prices.
